Best TEN Picks | September 2017

Toy Photography now has slowly evolved to just merely producing composition that define your action figure or diecast car. The selection process now is how to tell the story using the elements of one image, a simple narrative, and perspective. So far there are A LOT of good toy shooters out there who share their perspective how to put a simple toy in perspective. These ten did their best in Bringing Toys to Life™ and here is The Best TEN Photography for September 2017, where you may pick up inspiration how we chose these compositions.

The ten selected compositions not in any order and there are no ranks as the best featured are from Alvin Innocencio, Brian Chong, Carlo Jonathan Linao, Ian Luke Joseph, Kenan Miranda, Mary Fox, Oli De Guzman, Paul Carter, Rohaidi LoCase, and Steven Wells. This was chosen from five people who posted their work in the monthly album and the other five from the group’s timeline.

These images featured are randomly chosen not based on most LIKEs, but how they have impact in telling a story through the use of their chosen toy, background them and most of all how you don’t need captions to tell their narrative.



Alvin Innocencio, a Pokemon fan he captures this images using bokeh as his background with bright colors and bringing Ash and Pikachi with this night shot.



Brian Chong, he certainly went out of his way to make his Nendroid figurine and drone look realistic. There are no photo edits and daring practical shot it works how he made this image become a favorite in the group.



Carlo Jonathan Linao, an avid wresting fan knows how to bring the Undertaker’s personality through the use of silhouette and lighting for this indoor photo.



Ian Luke Joseph certainly a minimalist using a background that works for his figurine, that gives the impression how the character enjoyed the great outdoors.



Kenan Miranda must have seen fear in the Red Skull when he used the Tessaract to turn the world upside down in molding the vile villain’s perspective in this great shot.



Mary Fox makes Supergirl quite human than Kryptonian with this perspective shot under the bright sun with this execution makes this figure share her challenges in life.



Oli De Guzman knows how to enjoy taking photos with his figurine in the outdoors. Sometimes the right figure at a right place definitely works out and about the beach.



Paul Carter never runs out of Dinosaur Photography and this one is something to be an awe using sunset and silhouette to show some realism to this creatures.



Rohaidi LoCase has posted some of the interesting subjects, but this one is simple and not extravagantly placed in expressing how a Stormtrooper hunts.



Steven Wells can’t get Doctor Strange’s image in the film where he tries to bend reality the way he did with this diorama set up, which actually works well done.

Congratulations to these ten individuals and keep on posting your works. It took a while for us to choose the best in Bringing Toys to Life™ and sharing their #1ShotStory perspective in capturing their toys until next month!
